Eating away the stress:
Dianne Ell was a stress eater and with good reason. She was working a middle-management job that kept her busy for 60 to 80 hours a week and candy and junk food made it easier to cope. "I would send the office manager to the candy store all the time and after awhile, I would feel bad and wind up on a starvation diet that only made me gain more weight in the end."
Throwing up her hands:
She had tried almost every diet in the book. She went to a hypnotherapist to make herself like vegetables and even tried a diet in which you eat just one food for the rest of your life. Nothing worked and Dianne was frustrated beyond belief, weighing in at 280 pounds and wearing a size 24. "I refused to buy any more clothes and decided to try one more time." This time she tried Herbalife. This time it worked.
Finally something that works:
When she first started following the Thermojetics® Weight Management Program she took the products half-heartedly. "I had figured it wasn’t going to work either," she explains. But soon she began noticing that it was working. The scale was going down and as a result she stepped up her program. Within five months, she had lost 60 pounds and within a year, Dianne had lost 100 pounds and dropped down to a size 14.*
